Abstract

The 24th International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM2002) was held this Summer in Beijing, China. About 5000 people from all over the world took part in this first major gathering of mathematicians for the new millennium. Twenty plenary talks, nineteen specialized sections, special talks and meetings, and forty six Satellite Conferences in various cities in China and in neighboring countries were the major features of this congress. The latest Fields medals (L. Lafforgue and V. Voevodsky) and the Nevanlinna prize (M. Sudan) were awarded. The next ICM will take place in Madrid, Spain in 2006.

In this talk I will share my impressions from the ICM2002-Beijing and from the Satellite Conference on Mathematics Education in Lhasa, Tibet.
